O.U. June 8th 1941

Dear beloved All !

In a Field rest area, on a hard ground, I stretch my tired limbs and I hardly can keep my eyes open that’s how tired I am. But a few words I will write. Every night for the past 8 days, we have marched 40 Kilometers and rest a few hours in day time. Today is Sunday but it is like any other day. The night before we crossed a wide River . How are things in Rehren now? Let me know all the latest news who knows when we will be coming back to Germany.

Heil to all of you

Your son Heinrich
